bungy 2 Posted January 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Well with the decision to take it off the road for this year and deciding on at least some of the changes to come, the big strip down is now coming soon. I do miss driving it though..... Link to post Share on other sites

bungy 2 Posted April 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Well with a profiling machine at my disposal and able to cut 20mm thick stainless steel plate, I've had 2 plates cut ready for machining. I have spare manifolds supplied by Tony (thank you) and a project is now in progress. I will be making 2 different designs and the program's used on the cnc machines kept (in case they are any good). Just need to see when to pull the engine out and ask nicely for some help. Link to post Share on other sites
bungy 2 Posted April 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Plates cut out and ready for cnc. 20mm stainless steel would have took ages to cut by hand. Link to post Share on other sites
Pearsy47 1 Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Plates cut out and ready for cnc. 20mm stainless steel would have took ages to cut by hand. Hi there yea stainless is a right bitch ! but what are you planning on making some sort of spacer ? Link to post Share on other sites
bungy 2 Posted April 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 The plates are for making a turbo manifold for my 4mo. The gaskets are being used to make the pattern. 20mm will be milled down to 13mm to make sure they are flat and parallel. Link to post Share on other sites
Pearsy47 1 Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 im liking this idea !! lol are you doing the milling yourself ? Link to post Share on other sites
bungy 2 Posted June 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 Part way through the strip down and everything is going quite well. It was worth the extra effort of copper greasing everything last time. All the exhaust manifold bolts loosened first attempt. How rare is that? Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 Just needs to be done for April next year Link to post Share on other sites

bungy 2 Posted June 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 Front end stripped but I'm struggling for space in the garage so it's all a bit cluttered.Manifolds removed and new manifold flanges test fitted, which I'm pleased to find fit very well. Link to post Share on other sites

bungy 2 Posted June 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Well I've started getting parts together and already begun making my manifold although I think it will take me a while. Jake has lent me his TIG set and Paul has given me moral and technical support. I'm not saying this will be a work of art but I really enjoy making stuff so here we go.I bought 3 stainless 180's from Jetex and a turbo flange off the bay, the manifold flanges I had CNC'd at work.The block of wood is just an easy way for me to get the cuts positioned and sized before tacking in place. Only a couple of hours spent this afternoon and the easy side of the manifold is shaping up. I think the turbo will be positioned at a 45 degree angle and low enough to use the stock heat shield and inlet manifold.I'll be continuing tomorrow and will need to set up the welder to start tacking before some of the more complicated angles need doing.
